Trouble downloading packages that have needs_compilation=FALSE - r

I am having trouble downloading certain packages on my new work computer (Windows with R version 3.6.3). When I try downloading packages that have needs_compilation=FALSE,
There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
rlang 0.4.11 1.0.3 TRUE
scales 1.1.1 1.2.0 FALSE
ggplot2 3.3.3 3.3.6 FALSE
I get the following error messages:
....
installing source package 'scales' ...
** package 'scales' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** R
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :
namespace 'rlang' 0.4.11 is being loaded, but >= 1.0.0 is required
Kald: ... withCallingHandlers -> loadNamespace -> namespaceImport -> loadNamespace

ERROR: dependency 'scales' is not available for package 'ggplot2'
removing 'C:/Users/lesor/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/ggplot2'
I am able to download packages like dplyr (which have need_compilation=TRUE), however these error messages show up for packages like knitr, rmarkdown, ggplot2 (which have need_compilation=FALSE). I have tried updating packages in global options, uninstalling and reinstalling R, installing packages in R instead of Rstudio, but nothing has worked so far. Would greatly appreciate any help.

Issues with RStudio version 3.6.3: troubles installing packages

I upgraded RStudio version to 3.6.3 and have endless issues installing the packages. I have never experienced that before and I am not an expert, so it has been a huge struggle. I posted a question on StackOverflow (Trouble installing package ‘export’ after upgrading R version. Is there an alternative to this package?) with several updates in the comments... The issues are always similar: it seems that the package is being loaded, but then it is not available.
For example:
** package 'dbplyr' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :

I have tried reinstalling both R and Rstudio but it does not solve the problem. I tried installing Rtools, but it does not work either. It appears I have to solve the source/binary issue with broom but I do not know how.
As #hplieninger suggests, the proximal problem is that the installation of broom is looking for the zeallot package, which isn't installed:
there is no package called 'zeallot'
You should try manually installing the zeallot package (install.packages("zeallot")) and then try installing tidyverse again.
It might also help to say "no" when R asks you whether you want to install the packages with more recent source-code versions from source rather than binary. (The worst thing that can happen is that you end up with slightly older versions of some packages.)
However it's surprising that this requirement comes up. Are you using install.packages("tidyverse")? Are you specifying something like dependencies=TRUE?
Because according to the CRAN index pages
The current version of broom (0.5.4, apparently the same version that R is trying to install for you) doesn't directly import zeallot: it Depends only on R and
Imports: backports, dplyr, generics (≥ 0.0.2), methods, nlme, purrr, reshape2, stringr, tibble, tidyr
The current version of zeallot shouldn't obviously be needed. The packages that use it are:
Reverse imports: completejourney, graphTweets, ipumsr, keras, mlflow, statsExpressions
Reverse suggests: listarrays, SDMtune, vctrs

Problems installing packages devtools and callr on Windows

Installing package devtools I obtained the following message
There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
binary source needs_compilation
processx 3.3.1 3.4.0 TRUE
callr 3.2.0 3.3.0 FALSE
Moreover:

** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck =
vI[[j]]) :

and
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'callr'
* removing 'C:/Users/Standard/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/callr'
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘callr’ had non-zero exit status
Then I tried to update processx package, hoping that it could fix the problem:
install.packages("processx")
library(processx)
RStudio asked me to restart R session but then
> install.packages("devtools")
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'callr'
* removing 'C:/Users/Standard/Documents/R/win-library/3.6/callr'
Warning in install.packages :
installation of package ‘callr’ had non-zero exit status
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT I tried with installing processx and callr with their dependencies in this way
install.packages("processx", dependencies=TRUE)
library(processx)
install.packages("callr", dependencies=TRUE)
library(callr)
but I obtained the message:
Error in library(callr) : there is no package called ‘callr’
I had same problem. I think your problem is, that latest Rtools version needs to be installed. Devtools will install properly including dependencies to callr and processx after Rtools is installed. So do the following:
Delete the callr and processx and devtools packages from your library folder under your Rversion folder.
Close Rstudio or R shell.
Download recommended version from this site:
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/Rtools/
Follow instructions here: http://jtleek.com/modules/01_DataScientistToolbox/02_10_rtools/#6
After rtools and then devtools are installed, check with find_rtools() if TRUE
Now callr and processx should be installed also as you can see in your library folder.

2: In install.packages("pbkrtest") :

It seems like that the installation keeps failing.
As a result, I couldn't use other code using caret packages.
I faced this problem as well on Windows 7. I did following steps in the sequence and it worked.
a) Make sure your R version is updated latest R release 3.2.3
b) The default sources seems to be installing Unix version. So I manually downloaded https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pbkrtest/index.html for windows
c) Use manually install function from R menu to install the package.
Cheers,
Ratan
Check version of R by typing version in your console.
If version is not "version.string R version 3.3.2" or later then
Install new version of R from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
Update R version using Tools => Global Options in RStudio.
install package using "install.packages("caret")" in your console.
do require(caret).
test using ?createDataPartition.
